Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort, Mexico

Sun glints off the Sea of Cortez like hammered silver as the morning breeze moves through palo verde and torch-lit stone paths. 

With just 71 keys on a dune-fringed beachfront outside San José del Cabo, Las Ventanas al Paraíso is a boutique resort where adobe curves meet white-canopied daybeds and the scent of lime and sea salt lingers on skin. 

Days unfold in a hush of private terraces, driftwood cabanas, and warm, crystalline water. Evenings belong to stars, candles, and the soft percussion of waves.

What Makes It Special

• Boutique scale with an intimate, residential feel.
• Beachfront setting with private cabanas and cinematic sunrise walks.
• Suites and villas with private outdoor spaces (many with plunge pools or hot tubs).
• Spa & wellness rituals inspired by desert botanicals and the sea.
• Romance-first service culture—tailored dining, in-suite experiences, and beachside surprises.

A Day at Las Ventanas

Morning

Wake to the hush of surf and the scent of agave bloom. Breakfast arrives on your terrace—papaya sweet as sun, just-squeezed naranja, warm pan dulce—and you wander down to the shoreline where pelicans skim low over the water.

Afternoon

Heat shimmers on sun-bleached stone. You nap beneath a white canopy, then cool off in your plunge pool before a ceviche tasting—lime-bright, chili-kissed—paired with a frosty michelada.

Evening

Golden hour paints the desert a soft peach. Lanterns are lit along the paths, and a table is set in the sand; grilled local catch arrives with charred citrus and herbs.

Night

The Sea of Cortez becomes black silk. You soak under a sky stippled with stars, the ocean a steady metronome beyond your terrace.
